Step-by-Step…building the new Downeast 37

Boy, have we been busy! It’s amazing to see how quickly the Back Cove Downeast 37 is coming together. Over the last few weeks the shop has been buzzing with activity on this new model. Below are a few images of the progress being made.

A meeting of the minds! When building the first of any model, there are many impromptu meetings with the engineers, designers, mechanics and electricians.
